Figure 1.Interrelation among CNC machine tool, CAD system and a CMM
Following are some of the reasons for using reverse
engineering:
* The original manufacturer no longer exists, but a
customer needs the product, e.g., aircraft spares required
typically after an aircraft has been in service for several
years.
* The original manufacturer of a product no longer
produces the product, e.g., the original product has
become
obsolete.
* The original product design documentation has been
lost
or
never
existed.
* Creating data to refurbish or manufacture a part for
which there are no CAD data, or for which the data have
become
obsolete
or
lost.
* Inspection and/or Quality ControlComparing a
fabricated part to its CAD description or to a standard
item.
* Some bad features of a product need to be eliminated
e.g., excessive wear might indicate where a product
should
be
improved.
* Analyzing the good and bad features of competitors
products.
* Exploring new avenues to improve product
performance
and
features.
* Creating 3-D data from a model or sculpture for
animation
in
games
and
movies.

Conclusion
The above study shows that usingCoordinate Measuring
Machine helps to get theunknown details of any
component. The intricatedimensions which are not
possible to measure byany other method can be
measured easily. Thedesign process can also be
simplified and costincurred in designing is also
minimum. Also theinspection activity is simplified with
the help ofCMM machine.
